Fasting: not eating for long periods of time. I fast quite regularly, almost every weekend. Some of you have asked me how I make it through. Well, it didnt start out easily. Fasting is something you have to ease in to. Some tips for fasting are: keep water bottles around (drink water when you're hungry), suck on ice cubes (it tricks your body into thinking its eating), count down from your current weight to your goal weight, don't watch t.v. (It causes cravings), KEEP YOURSELF BUSY!!! I cannot stress this last point enough. Being bored causes cravings and leads to hunger and binging! This is NOT good for losing weight! Stay active and workout out! ~A
